Mr. De pulled me into the study to sit down, and took out the photo of him and his previous brothers.
After wiping it several times, he slowly said, "Do you know what the person looking for me looks like?"
I shook my head and said, "When I saw the photo, I was too concerned about whether it was you and didn't ask."
Mr. De nodded and asked, "How old is that person and what is he wearing?"
I blushed a little and shook my head again: "I didn't even ask!"
Mr. De smiled and said: "Xiao Feng, you don't know anything, so I can't be sure whether that photo is of me. After all, there are too many people who look alike in the world. Well, if you have a chance, take that photo."
Take the photos home and show them to me. I will definitely recognize your own photos."
I nodded, this shouldn't be a difficult task. Even if Buddha doesn't give me the original, where can I find a copy shop to make a copy?
Mr. De put the photo away and continued: "Xiao Feng, I told you that when I was young, I was a gangster. I did a lot of big things and made a lot of enemies. And the number of enemies I made was far greater than
Your imagination is much stronger, so as my brothers left one after another, I had no choice but to find a remote town to spend my remaining years."
From what Mr. De said, he seemed to have encountered a huge change in his last days in the world.
Seeing Mr. De's painful expression, I didn't ask in detail. I firmly believed that Mr. De would tell me all these things one day.
Mr. De Chang breathed a sigh of relief, walked up to me and patted me on the shoulder and said: "Xiao Feng, don't tell your parents about this, at least until you are sure whether the person in the photo is me.
They know that they know more about me than you do, and I’m afraid they’ll be worried.”
I nodded.
After chatting with Mr. De for a while, he brought the topic to my Kung Fu.
My kung fu has not fallen behind at all these days. Whether it is short-inch punches, elbow twists, or short knife thrusts, I have mastered them very skillfully, but I still cannot use them 100% in terms of power.
To be honest, my strength is no longer small. Over the past year, I have persisted in training and fought countless times. My body is much stronger than when I entered school.
After coming out of Mr. De's study, I called Mr. Fo and asked him if I could bring the photos over to have a look.
Buddha agreed without thinking, and also said that he would personally come to Yuhua Town to deliver it to me in the next two days.
I told Master De about the results, and Master De nodded and said nothing.
In the evening, just like the last winter vacation, after eating and watching TV for a while, I ran to my room and started talking on the phone with Lu Xiaoyu.
My life in the next few days was very regular. I got up early to accompany Mr. De in his morning exercise and played circles. During the day, I chatted with my family and watched TV at home. When my father was at home, we also played mahjong for fun. In the evening, I
Just talk on the phone with Lu Xiaoyu.
Time flies and a week has passed.
That morning, as soon as I returned from my morning run with Mr. De, I received a call from Mr. Fo. He told me that he would come to Yuhua Town today and asked me to pick him up at the station.
Knowing that Lord Buddha was coming, I told my parents that a classmate of mine was coming over to play at noon today and asked my mother to prepare some more dishes.
Mother smiled and said, "Do you still need to teach me?"
At noon, Buddha arrived at the station on time, so I walked there and he picked us up at our house.
This is not because I am disrespectful to Buddha, but because the station is near my home, and I only need to lift my legs, so it is not difficult to drive or anything like that.
My parents have also met Buddha and know that he is Lu Xiaoyu’s brother, so they are also enthusiastic about him.
During the meal, we all drank some wine.
After dinner, I took Mr. Fo to Mr. De's study. We stayed here for a while, and Mr. De also came in.
Seeing Mr. De, Mr. Fo immediately stood up straight, then took a slow breath and said, "You must be Mr. De. I have often heard Xiaofeng mention you."
Mr. De smiled and said: "I am an old man, what can I say? By the way, I heard from Xiaofeng that you have a photo of me when I was young. I wonder if you can show it to me."
Lord Buddha quickly and respectfully took out the yellowed photo and handed it to Lord De.
Mr. De took the photo in his hand and looked at it. There was no expression change on his face. After a while, he returned the photo to Mr. Fo and said, "The person on this is not me. I have no impression at all."
Buddha was stunned for a moment, then took the photo without saying anything.
Next, Mr. De said a few more words about the photos and then changed the topic, as if he didn't care at all.
In the afternoon, I wanted to keep Buddha here for one night, but unfortunately he insisted on leaving because he had something to do. I couldn't keep him, so I had to send him to the station.
When we were on the light truck, Buddha said to me: "Silly brother-in-law, there must be something wrong with your old man. Although he behaves very calmly and diplomatically, I am sure that he is the person in this photo."
This Buddha started to be rude to me again as soon as he left my house. I didn't care about what he called me, so I asked him: "Why do you see him?"
Buddha said: "The look in the person's eyes in the photo is exactly the same as the look in your old man's eyes when he looked at me. The appearance can be the same, but the look will not be copied, so he is the person in the photo."
I couldn't tell the slight difference in the eyes, so I shook my head and said, "Lord Buddha, what you said is too exaggerated. I think people's eyes are too similar."
Buddha shook his head and said, "You don't understand. If you have been around the Tao for a long time, you will know."
In front of me, Buddha naturally has qualifications, and I can't refute it.
After seeing Lord Buddha off, I hurried home to ask about Lord De's photo.
After entering the study, Mr. De smiled at me and said, "Did that Lu Xiaohu realize that the person in the photo is me?"
Huh!? Mr. De often admits it! It seems that Mr. Fo’s guess is right.
Mr. De said with a smile: "Lu Xiaohu is not a simple child. Although the anger in his eyes is very strong, it is also hidden deep enough. He is a hateful person, and he may have killed someone in his hands!"
"Ah!" I was stunned immediately. Mr. De always judged people very accurately, so even if he said this, it was probably wrong.
Mr. De continued: "Okay, let's not speculate on other people's affairs. Let's talk about the photos. The ones above are indeed me, and they are photos of me when I was most prosperous.
"
I suddenly became energetic and wanted to hear a few stories from Mr. De, but Mr. De smiled bitterly and said: "That photo was taken by a reporter, and I had to wait for the newspaper back then, so it is not my private photo.
It must be easy to get it, so I can’t tell whether the person who comes to me is an enemy or a friend.”
Mr. De has been in the newspapers? There are only three possibilities for being in the newspapers. One is that he was arrested; the other is that he is wanted; the third is that he is extremely powerful, and then he becomes a prominent figure after being cleared!
Which kind of De Ye will he be?
Seeing my confusion, Mr. De patted me on the shoulder and said: "Xiao Feng, there are many things that you are too young to know. You have to get in touch with this society slowly and accept it slowly. If others instill in you
If you enter their own thoughts, you will lose the ability to judge reality, which will not help you see the overall situation clearly in the future, so I can only tell you things bit by bit, to the extent that you can digest and accept them."
What Mr. De said was a bit profound. I didn’t quite understand it, so I had to nod.
After Lord Buddha left, my life returned to its usual repetitiveness and boredom.
On the third day after Buddha left, Wang Bin, Bao Shu and Zhang Beichen went back to Yuhua Town, while Civet Mao, Da Tou and Xiao Si'er stayed behind in Xingzhou.
Wang Bin can now walk with a limp. As for the injury to his leg, Wang Bin told his family that he was hit by a car. Naturally, his parents felt distressed for a long time.
Wang Bin said that the matter was settled and the other party had compensated the money, so he told his family not to worry.
Wang Bin has always been like this, and his family can't do anything to him. However, Wang Bin is very filial and he still left a sum of money to his family.
Wang Bin's family also accepted the money. According to Wang Bin's father, Wang Bin did not "guard" his money and the family had to save the money for him to use for marrying his wife in the future.
Since Wang Bin's legs and feet were inconvenient and he was not suitable for walking around, we got together at Wang Bin's house that night.
Wang Bin's family's conditions are average, but he is still able to prepare a table of good food and wine.
When we eat at Wang Bin's house, Wang Bin's father, as the host, naturally has to accompany us. Including Wang Bin, Bao Shu, Zhang Beichen and I, there are only five people.
Wang Bin's mother is more traditional and does not go to the banquet table.
The food and drinks were almost ready. Wang Bin's father (hereinafter referred to as Uncle Wang), Uncle Wang said to me: "Xiao Feng, this wine is only lively when there are more people drinking. How about this, you go and get Lao Yi, De
Uncle, please call your mother over, let’s have a meal together as a family.”
The relationship between our two families has always been good, so when Uncle Wang said this, I thought it was feasible, so I quickly agreed and took out my phone to make a call.
Uncle Wang smiled and said, "You naughty kid, it's just a few steps. If you run a few steps, you'll lose a pound of meat. Come on, I'll go with you, otherwise Lao Yi will be polite to me and never come again."
With Uncle Wang accompanying me, my father and Mr. De did not refuse and came over. However, my mother did not follow. She said: "This is a drinking party for you men, so I won't join in the fun."
After we came back and sat down at the table again, Uncle Wang first picked up a glass of wine and said, "Come on, I'm a guest at my old Wang's house today. We all had a great time eating and drinking. One of us will leave first."
After finishing a glass of wine and filling up the wine in front of each other, Uncle Wang said again: "Uncle De, Lao Yi, our Wang family has received a lot of care from you over the years. I am here to propose a toast to you."
What happened to Uncle Wang today? Why did he suddenly talk so much? He is usually very introverted.
My father smiled and said, "Old Wang, what are you talking about? When I first came back to Yuhua Town, you helped me a lot when I was working in the team, so we are all mutual friends."
Uncle Wang shook his head: "I'm all small favors to you, but you're different from our Wang family. When Xiao Binzi was a child, he got seriously ill and our family didn't have money to treat it, so you paid for it. Later, we paid you back three times."
, you retreated from us three times, Lao Yi, you are a great benefactor to our Lao Wang family."
I've heard these things too.
My father shook his head and said: "Old Wang, why are you talking about these sesame seeds and rotten millet? Come on, have a drink!"
Uncle Wang shook his head and said: "Lao Yi, our family owes you. Our little Binzi's life was also given by your family, so I know all the things that little Binzi did outside and I didn't stop him. As the saying goes, drink water and remember its source."
, I still understand the principle that a drop of water will repay you with a spring of water, but I ask you one thing, that is, don't let Xiao Binzi do anything too dangerous again, okay, I am only such a son!"
After Uncle Wang finished speaking, our entire table was stunned. He knew all this, he was just pretending to be confused.
I suddenly felt that our family felt sorry for Wang Bin.
